6 essential men’s moisturisers

Why men really need to moisturiseSensAsia Urban Spas' Alex Hurt on why daily care is essential...‘Men's skin tends to be a little more sensitive due to shaving. What's more, most men use the same shower gel for their face as they do for the body, and soap for the face is a big no.

‘The skin is naturally an acid base, and soap is an alkali. When soap is used on the skin it strips the natural oil and causes an imbalance. Men using soap on their skin will notice an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. This, along with continued shaving and exfoliation, means it's very important to restore moisture.

‘Men experiencing more oily skin should use a water-based moisturiser that will hydrate the skin, whereas men with more sensitive, dry skin need to use something nourishing and moisturising. A monthly facial is extremely effective to maintain the skin, and daily use of a facewash and a moisturiser will keep the skin balanced, and help to fight the signs of ageing.'
